Q: I was struck by an suv turning left into a parking lot and I had no insurance at the time of the accident ! What to do.

Do not make any statements regarding the collision until you do. Many of us offer free consultations and will handle your case on a contingent basis, so you will not have to pay anything out of pocket to be represented by a knowledgeable attorney throughout the entire recovery process, maximizing our recovery and reducing your stress.
A: I'm assuming you called the police and you are speaking about your car being hit by the SUV. If that is the case, although you may have been ticketed for no insurance, you should be paid for the property damage to your vehicle. I am also assuming that the driver of the SUV was at fault. If you were injured, then the same would apply.
